Abstract To assess the risk of head blight (Fusarium spp.) infection in winter wheat in Belgium, an agrometeorological model based on an interpolation of meteorological data (including temperature, relative humidity and wind speed) collected from meteorological stations and on weather radar data has been developed to simulate the leaf wetness duration on a grid size of 1x1 km. The preliminary results of the model are presented.
